Thanks, Doug. I'll give it a try. Is there someplace where one can
read about the full
richness of the mailmerge syntax? Word Help seems oriented entirely
toward the
wizard.

Use an If...then...Else field
{ IF { MERGEFIELD Spouse } "" " & { MERGEFIELD Spouse }" "" }
Use Ctrl+F9 to insert each pair of field delimiters {} and Alt+F9 to
toggle off their display.

I'm trying to create mailing lables in which would include a field
only if it is non-blank.
Also, the preceding separator would be omitted if the field is
blank. E.g.,
James & Mary Brown
...
...
or
Bill Smith
...
...
As opposed to
Bill & Smith
...
...
How can this be done when setting up the label layout?
The source data is in an Excel spreadsheet. I know the basics of
the process.
TIA
